People who have known me since the 1980s have probably heard my story about the time I bit Frank Stronach. Their curiosity remained dormant until earlier this year, when Stronach, a billionaire and pillar of the Canadian Establishment, was arrested. Thirteen women have now made criminal allegations against him including rape, forcible confinement, and sexual assault. The earliest charge dates back to 1977, the most recent to February 2024.
Canadians were astonished. Stronach is the 92-year-old Austrian-Canadian founder and longtime C.E.O. of Magna International, North America’s largest auto-parts manufacturer. It currently has more than 177,000 employees in 28 countries, including 28,750 in the United States, and, in 2023, revenues of $43 billion.
